here's the deal folks... (drumroll) Hum, yes Hum will once again reunite and play a show on Saturday October 15th, 2005. it will be outside, behind Highdive in a 3000 capacity tent with about a half dozen other bands. Fucking fantastic right? yes, but there's one small catch you should be aware of. although it's a free show, Budweiser is sponsoring the entire event and is thus giving all of the tickets away via various promotions. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. so how do you get a ticket? that i don't know yet and thus the reason i was not announcing it publicly. Bud or Miller did the same thing at Canopy Club a while back with Puddle of Mudd i believe. so don't get your collective britches in too big of a bundle just yet. oh and i'm quite sure you hafta be 21. more details as i get them. thanks, Ward

Sucks about tix though. If I could get some, I'd try and make it up.

Whoa! I'm not on that list, but PLEASE keep us (me) informed! I saw them at the Vic in '97 and that was the shit. They are one of the classic mid 90's "Chicago" bands.

np: DJ Shadow-Celebrate

I'd seriously considerf lying out to try and get in by hook or crook!

Damn!

thats retarded...

hopefully they will do more then just one show.....

This is excellent news! It was so disappointing that they didn't have a follow-up to Downward is Heavenward. That's one of my favorite albums from the last 10 years.

update from h-u-m.net

Quote:

UPDATE: 8.24.05

The moment you have all been waiting for...TICKET INFO! Here's the deal...anyone who lives more than 60 miles from Champaign, IL can send a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope, if you've been living under a rock) to the wondermous Ward and he will send you FREE TICKETS once they've been printed (around mid-September). And just for fun, include the 3 Hum songs you'd MOST like to hear them play. Here's the address:

Ward
6 Taylor Street
Champaign, IL 61820

Please take note that this is a 21+ show! The Highdive generally will let you in if you are underage and accompanied by a parent/guardian but I'm not sure if that rule pertains to this show or not. Perhaps Ward could tell you - info@thehighdive.com

DONE! Thanks so much for the info on this! Anyone else planning on attending?

np: Kill Memory Crash-Riyout

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:16 pm

As soon, as i get my tix in the mail, i will make my travel arrangements...

never got to see them when they were around..not missing it this time.

two guns holla · **Posted:** Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:18 pm

I'm going to send a SASE today, so if I get tickets, I will make all efforts to be there. Like TK, I never got to see them before they broke up, so I want to be there for this.

DMB04 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:57 pm

I only got to witness them live once in like '97. I really don't remember much of it to be honest, but I do know at the time we were like that was fucking great. Does that make sense?

Hopefully the sound is good at this outdoor tent deal.

np: Azeem-Rap Music

I'm still waiting. I sent off maybe 1.5 weeks ago.

It's a shame that the show isn't actually in The Highdive. That place is terrific.

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2005 11:47 pm

UPDATE: 9.7.05

UPDATED TICKET INFO!

UPDATE!!! Response has been somewhat overwhelming. Not that we didn't expect it... but the letters continue to flow in with no sign of stopping (or even dwindling). Therefore, PLEASE NOTE... your SASE (Self-Adressed Stamped Envelope) for HUM ticket(s) MUST BE POSTMARKED BY 9/10/05 (to: Ward c/o 6 Taylor Street Champaign IL 61820). No exceptions. After that, Highdive needs to impose a (hopefully temporary) HIATUS on the distribution of free tickets to any and all out-of-towners until we regroup and reassess the current ticket situation. New news will then be posted at www.thehighdive.com as well as sent to the burgeoning HD email list.

Thanks for your support AND your patience AND for all of the wonderful notes that have been enclosed! Ward

PS. top 5 vote-getters in my silly poll thus far are...

Isle of the Cheetah
Suicide Machine
Iron Clad Lou
The Scientists
The Pod

and suprising dark-horse candidates thus far are...
Boy with Stick
Puppets

Is Hum going to keep going after this gig or is this just a one-time only thing? Anybody know?

DMB04 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 20, 2005 6:31 pm

I'd be disappointed if I miss this.

They seem to have been doing one off, reuinion gigs once a year or so....but from stuff i have read, they have no intenetion of getting back together full time.. they reman great friends, but just have different stuff going on these days.

so, Hum reunion - 10-15-2005 @ The Highdive, Champaign, IL
